Hi, I was wondering if anyone could read this translation and see if it sounds natural and if the punctuation is correct:
Mexico is not the same country that it was in January 1994, when the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which would tie together the economic development of Mexico and The United States, came into force. But, has this change been for better, or for worse? In order to answer this question we first need to analyse the changes in different variables: GDP per capita-the measure of material well-being-, salaries and unemployment, the level of poverty, inequality and the way in which these variables have changed.
If it helps, here is the original text (in Spanish):
México ya no es el mismo país que en enero de 1994, cuando entró en vigor el Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte (TLC) que vincularía su devenir económico con el de Estados Unidos. ¿Cambió para mejor o para peor? Para responder a esa pregunta hay que analizar la evolución de diferentes variables: el PIB per cápita —el indicador por excelencia del bienestar material—, los salarios y el desempleo, la tasa de pobreza, la desigualdad y el tipo de cambio.
